<p><b>Memory</b> <b>pools</b> are fixed-size blocks of memory that are thread-safe. They operate much faster than the dynamically allocated heap and do not suffer from fragmentation. Being thread-safe, they can be accessed from threads and ISRs alike.</p>
<p><b>Shared</b> <b>memory</b> is one of the basic models to exchange information between threads. Using memory pools for exchanging data, you can share more complex objects between threads if compared to a <a class="el" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__Message.html">Message Queue</a>. Memory pool management functions are used to define and manage such fixed-sized memory pools.</p>
<h2>Working with Memory Pools </h2>
<p>Follow these steps to create and use a memory pool:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Declare a data structure that combines a number of elements: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct </span>{</div>
<div class="line">  uint32_t length;</div>
<div class="line">  uint32_t width;</div>
<div class="line">  uint32_t height;</div>
<div class="line">  uint32_t weight;</div>
<div class="line">} properties_t;</div>
</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>Declare a memory pool of these objects as a block of memory: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"><a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__PoolMgmt.html#ga87b471d4fe2d5dbd0040708edd52771b">osPoolDef</a> (object_pool, 10, properties_t);  <span class="comment">// Declare memory pool</span></div>
<div class="line"><a class="code" href="cmsis__os_8h.html#a08d2e20fd9bbd96220fe068d420f3686">osPoolId</a>  (object_pool_id);                 <span class="comment">// Memory pool ID</span></div>
</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>Then, create the memory pool in a thread: <div class="fragment"><div class="line">object_pool_id = <a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__PoolMgmt.html#ga34af5c4f4ab38f4138ea7f1f9ece3a1a">osPoolCreate</a>(<a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__PoolMgmt.html#ga5f0b204a82327533d420210125c90697">osPool</a>(object_pool));</div>
</div><!-- fragment --></li>
<li>Allocate the pool within a thread and fill it with data: <div class="fragment"><div class="line">properties_t *object_data;</div>
<div class="line"> object_data = (properties_t *) <a class="code" href="group__CMSIS__RTOS__PoolMgmt.html#gaa0b2994f1a866c19e0d11e6e0d44f543">osPoolAlloc</a>(object_pool_id);</div>
<div class="line"> </div>
<div class="line">object_data-&gt;length = 100;</div>
<div class="line">object_data-&gt;width  = 10;</div>
<div class="line">object_data-&gt;height = 23;</div>
<div class="line">object_data-&gt;weight = 1000;</div>
</div><!-- fragment --> </li>
